The clipboard is a shared resource which can be unavailable for new content when an ill-behaved app doesn't release it properly. Also, it might not work if there are inadequate system resources. Neither of these scenarios sound likely but are easy to test by cold booting then testing the copy/paste functions while only running Pegasus Mail and Notepad.
I just wanted to say thank you very much for all your help! A friend of mine with the help of the posts and emails from another user resolved the problem (don't ask me what he did, I gave up and just let him do it).
Thanks - I see that note now. As some messages had retained their new subjects I guess they were the ones I modified while they were still in New Mail. Now I know.

Go to Tools | Internet options | (Receiving)POP3 , edit the POP3 setup and check the POP3 settings to ensure that you are deleting the mail once downloaded Delete mail from host once it has been successfully retrieved If you check this box, Pegasus Mail will delete the host's copy of each mail message it successfully downloads, which will prevent it from being presented to you again the next time you retrieve mail. Leaving this box unchecked tells Pegasus Mail to leave the mail on the host even if successfully downloaded. Mail left on the server will be retrieved every time you download mail.
If this is checked the download may not be completing successfully and the POp3 account is resetting. Turn on session logging in Tools | Internet options | General and then look at the resulting file.
You might also try using the File | Selective mail download to manually delete the mail after downloading.
Thanks! stunnel works for me, both in Ubuntu hardy and eeepc default Xandros. I had hesitated to try it because i didn't understand what it does, and thought it would need to be installed on the mail server. but that was incorrect; i didn;t need to change anything on the server. I tried the Linux version sof stunnel on both platforms, and couldn't get them to work with pmail. But I installed the Windows version of stunnel under wine, configured pmail SMTP to send to 127.0.0.1 and the stunnel input port, edited the stunnel.conf according to the message quoted above, and commented out the stunnel.conf line for a "key" file. Run stunnel, then pmail, and it works.
I haven't tried ASSP -- it looks interesting, but more than I need right now.

Well, I don't see a convincing reason for your problems with this message, it displays without any issues, and I don't see the (programmatic) link to sending attachments either. I know this is an annoying task, but can you still duplicate this behaviour? Does this message have to stay at a certain position? Do you use preview mode? Do you usually do a POP3 before triggering SMTP delivery? Do you have remote image auto-download (for HTML messages) enabled? Would setting Load Windows Internet services ... to Always (on Tools => Options => Advanced settings) make a difference? Although it might look a little bit over-investigative there must be a reason for this which might cause more weird future issues (one of them might be described in ), hence my request ...
Indeed the folders are sorted alphabetically and I am happy with that; the problem is the position of the mailboxes in the list. Before the crash, I had my IMAP mailboxes at the top of the list and a local store of folders beneath that; now the order is reversed and I need to scroll down to access the mailboxes that are used most frequently -- not a big deal for a small number of items in a list but in my case there are large numbers of folders and many IMAP accounts which over time means a lot of unnecessary wrist action -- ordering for me is quite important.
What happens exactly when you send Mails over SMTP (push the send button) during the time when Pmail automatic checks identities over POP3 for new mails and some programm parts are frozen / not correct at work. Is there no possibility that during this situation the process of converting the mail in the send format can cause a problem.
Thanks for the suggestion, I tried it and moved the three WINPM**.PM files to the new netbook. They now show up in the "MAIL" folder on the netbook, but when I start do a new email and look at the "Recently Used" list for an address, none of the addresses I thought I moved over are there. What did I do wrong?

The files need to go in the same folder as all of your mail and addressbooks. In most Pegasus installations this will not be the Mail folder. You should find that the Mail folder has subfolders - one for each user of that installation of Pegasus. The default setup creates only one, called "Admin". Try moving the FUA file there.
